I spent a year at Leicester Uni living in the Halls of residence there, and all the phones were provided through ntl. the costs were pretty pricey, but internal calls were free and that was cool.
Ideally the uni could have set up some dialup servers on an internal line but that was more of a dream of mine rather than anything that would actually happen!
So, I got a card which I recharged regularly, and the modem pauses/tones meant I could dial straigth to my dialup provider.
it was pretty good all in all cos if anyone wanted to speak to their mum/dads they could txt home and you get a direct line back. internal calls free so that covers mates. cos it was a new system installed, the quality was really good, and the system darned sharp.
Of course because of this way they'd set it up ntl: are said to have lost a fortune - or at elast having to wait a LONG time to recoup investment - which they probably should have thought of first.
